The fully outdoor experience is the second biggest rink in the UK and boasts a world-class, custom designed, ice rink from the team behind Dancing on Ice and Somerset House. 40,000 tickets have already been snapped up.
A team of 150 plus have been working for over a year to build the world class experience which is set to rival the great cities of the world such as Rockefeller Centre in New York and Ice World in Vienna and put Glasgow, and Scotland, on the map this Christmas.
Today, thousands of people will be getting their skates on to be the first to discover the magical Winter Wonderland which alongside the world-class skating experience also includes:
• A stunning light show set against a fully illuminated Kelvingrove Museum
• A skate-up Mallow Café for hot chocolates and mallows
• A Silent Snow Disco to dance and sing as snow falls all around
• The Candy Bar – where elves go to drink, and you can enjoy festive food and drink including pigs in blankets, fondue and Candy Cane cocktails.
Oli Norman, Elfingrove Creator and CEO of itison, said: “From Rockefeller Centre in New York to Ice World in Vienna, I’ve skated some of the world’s most iconic rinks. To create our own at Kelvingrove Museum to rival those great cities is a real honour.”
The event is set to kick off today, 2nd of December and will run until Christmas Eve with time slots every hour between 12noon until 9pm. Tickets are still available, but you’ll need to be fast to avoid missing out.
Ice Experience tickets are priced at:
• Adult Daytime - £14
• Adult Evening - £16
• Child - £12
• Under 5s go free – under 5s can’t go on the ice due to safety reasons but can spectate or enjoy the Silent Snow Disco and all the other festivities.
For tickets visit www.itison.com/elfingrove and like Elfingrove on Facebook and Instagram to see the rink in all its glory.
